* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The title/chorus of the song has been criticized as a typically {{Eagleland}} Type 2 sentiment - a bunch of Brits sang "feed the world", and a bunch of Americans replied "we are the world". Their hearts were certainly in the right place, but next to the song that inspired it, the chorus can seem a little tone deaf.

As a tribute to him, his first singing part from the original was inserted into the remake--completely unaltered. The video also splices in footage of him from 1985, overlaid with footage of [[Music/JanetJackson his sister]] singing in harmony with him.

Removing some real life misuse and ZCEs. Also that Authors Saving Throw example ain't it, chief.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While its lyrics have their own issues (being kind of bland and vague), the "We're all a part of God's great big family" sentiments, avoiding any specific mention of Ethiopia or dwelling on the plight of the famine victims, have aged a lot better than the often-criticized lyrics of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", with their glib portrayals of Africa and guilt-tripping tone.

* {{Padding}}: Not wanting to limit the money raised to just the singles market, a ''We Are the World'' album was released, but obviously there was no way they were going to be able to have the whole ensemble record multiple songs together, but at the same time they needed ''something'' to accompany the unedited version of the title song. So they filled out the album with new material ("nine new superstar songs") by artists from the original session (Music/BruceSpringsteen, Music/TinaTurner, Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews, [[Music/{{Journey}} Steve Perry]], Music/KennyRogers, The Pointer Sisters), plus two songs by artists who didn't participate in the session but still wanted to signal their support for the cause (Music/{{Prince}}, Music/{{Chicago}}), and topped it off with "Tears Are Not Enough", the Canadian CharityMotivationSong for Ethiopia.
